Take a Trip Down Memory Lane in the LEGO Archive Vault

July 6, 2017 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 4 Comments

A few weeks ago, Josh Hanlon from Beyond the Brick was able to attend LEGO Fan Media Days and he has given LEGO fans a look at something that most of us probably won’t be able to see in real life, the LEGO Archive Vault, aka Memory Lane. It is located under the LEGO Idea House and it contains almost every single LEGO set that has been produced. Attendees of the LEGO Inside Tour are also able to check it out.

LEGO designers and other employees also go down to the Vault to do research or reminisce about their childhood. Since LEGO adds to the Vault every year, that means that they are running out of room and will soon have to move it to another location. You’ll notice that in the beginning of the film, Josh notes that there are already upcoming sets that haven’t been released yet that are already on the shelves which is blocked off.

If you have half a hour to spare, I highly recommend you taking a look at the video as there are lots of cool stuff that were shown off. Did you see sets that you have/had that were from your childhood?

LEGO Seasonal Christmas Ornament (5004934)

July 5, 2017 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 14 Comments

It’s never too early for Christmas news and it looks like we have a first look at a new LEGO Seasonal Christmas Ornament (5004934). As you can see from the images, it’s a new concept consisting of 66 pieces which includes small builds like a tricycle, race car, a gift, and a couple of minifigures. You also notice that part of the build comes out from the top of the box. That’s because the box itself is the ornament and it doesn’t look like there’s an actual tree build which is disappointing.

The LEGO Ninjago Movie Promotional Products

The LEGO Ninjago Movie Kai's Dojo Pod (5004916)

Brickset has uploaded official images of some of the promotional products for upcoming The LEGO Ninjago Movie. There’s no information on how or when these products will be available at this time. We’ll just have to wait and see if they show up on the LEGO Store Calendars or at Toys R Us weekly ads.

First is the Kai’s Dojo Pod (5004916) which basically is similar to The LEGO Batman Movie Batman Battle Pod (5004929). The difference here is is that it is red with an image of Kai’s mask on the front of the pod and it includes a Kai minifigure in a white dojo outfit. You also get a shelf filled with training accessories as well.

Next up is a Master Wu Keychain (5004915) polybag. He is not exclusive as this minifigure appears in a few of the The LEGO Ninjago Movie sets.

Finally, we have The LEGO Ninjago Movie Movie Maker Polybag (5004394). If you saw my post from earlier today, there’s also a full on Movie Maker Set (853702) and this is a smaller version of it. It appears that this polybag will include a different minifigure than the larger set as this one features Jay in a white training outfit.

July 5, 2017 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 3 Comments

It looks like we got our first look at a new The LEGO Ninjago Movie set with the Movie Maker Set (853702). Like with The LEGO Batman Movie Movie Maker Set (853650), it comes with a buildable stand for your phone, a couple of background scenes, and a Kai minifigure. It contains 163 pieces and will most likely retail for $19.99 on Shop@Home when it becomes available.

LEGO Artist Dan Veesenmeyer at San Diego Comic Con 2017

July 4, 2017 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

If you’re heading to San Diego Comic Con in a few weeks, a familiar face in the LEGO community will be returning to Artist Alley. Dan Veesenmeyer will again be attending and he will have some limited edition 8″x11″ prints available for purchase for $10 each. These prints feature Wonder Woman, Princess Leia, and Spider-Man in their LEGO minifigure forms and are limited to just 40 prints each.

If you’ve already order some commissions from Dan or want to get some of the ones listed above, you can pick them up at Artist Alley Table #EE-21. Dan will also have daily, on-site sketches but those usually fill up very quickly so get there early after the exhibit doors open.

If you’re not familiar with Dan’s work, he has created art for the LEGO Club Magazines, LEGO Marvel Avengers, LEGO Marvel Super Heroes 2, and a new book called LEGO Ninjago: How to Draw Ninja, Villains, and More!, just to name a few. Be sure to follow Dan on Twitter and Instagram to get a behind-the-scenes look at his work.

The LEGO Ninjago Movie Collectible Minifigures (71019) Feel Guide

July 3, 2017 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 8 Comments

The LEGO Ninjago Movie Collectible Minifigures (71019) will be released in a few weeks but I’ve already gotten a few requests to do my usual feel guide for them. I’ve also made a checklist with some of the feel tips which you can download as a PDF.

As with any feel guides that I put out, experienced collectors may not need it but there are also newcomers and younger collectors who can make use of it.

1. Flashback Garmadon: Since he is one of three Garmadons in this wave, he will have two torsos. To distinguish him from the other ones, feel for the 2×2 tile, hair piece, and camera.

2. Lloyd: He is the other minifigure to have a 2×3 tile. Confirm with the sword and extra hair piece.

3. Kai Kendo: For Kai,I would suggest feeling more for the two sticks, the kendo helmet, and the spiky hair piece.

4. Lloyd Garmadon: This version of Lloyd should be easy to pick out. Feel for the hoodie/hair mold, the bowl, and spoon.

5.Sushi Chef: Some of the notable parts for him are the butcher knife, two 1×1 round sushi tiles, 1×1 round brick, and the bald head piece.

6. Cole: The easiest thing for Cole is his boombox.

7. Zane: His backpack should be one of the things to feel for. Confirm with his flat hair piece.

8. Master Wu: He should be one of the easier … Continue

July 3, 2017 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 1 Comment

There will be a new The LEGO Ninjago Movie Activity Book called Garmadon Attack! coming out soon and included is an exclusive Cole minifigure. This version of him he has on a white training outfit does not not appear in any other set. These activity books are mainly for younger kids but for collectors, the majority of the value is in the minifigure itself.

An activity book with minifigure based on The LEGO(R) NINJAGO(R) Movie(TM) featuring a buildable Cole minifigure! Includes a mix of comics, puzzles, and activities that fans will love.
